We had originally hoped to hold the Dundee Scottish Congress and 150th Anniversary Invitation Tournament in the same venue as the Centenary celebration ie the Marryat Hall but there was already a prior booking for the second weekend of July. Therefore we had to look elsewhere in the City Centre and the excellent Bonar Hall was available from 15th July (exams taking place there for the preceding fortnight) at a very reasonable cost.
The first round of the GM Invitational 10 player all play tournament will be held at the new Hampton by Hilton Hotel on the afternoon of Friday 14th July, and thereafter in the Bonar Hall with a rest day of the Wednesday.
All tournaments will conclude on Sunday 23rd July with Prizegiving at 19.30. It is unfortunate that the earlier week could not be arranged but youngsters will be able to play in Dundee for most of the Congress week with Glorney players etc. being able to take byes for the final weekend as necessary. There are 6 day junior events to be held from the first Sunday until the Friday as an option.
